I have been photographing nature this summer and everywhere I look I seem to see Goddess. Here She is. All you have to do is look for her.
These are “glacial potholes” from Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. Notice that cauldronlike combination of strength and stability and receptivity and holding.
Here is the never-ending cycle of death and rebirth – a flower growing from the decomposing leaves. It looks like a mushroom, doesn’t it?
Here is a place of peace. Notice the sun coming through behind the tree, just waiting to energize you again when you are ready.
Some things need no explanation, like dragonflies and wild roses
